Hi Mazza. I can understand what you mean, both about how it might deplete the posters and especially how you feel about not feeling like you would belong posting in such a section. I feel that myself at times.
I could go on and explain in depth, but I fear that would only acerbate the situation. Maybe the problem exists only in the dark recesses of my mind, and if that is the case, pursuing it further here will only serve to offend more than I have already.
It took awhile for me to suggest this, and I regret deeply giving the implication of homophobia. I made what I felt at the time were two reasonable examples, both based on precedent, and though it was not my intention, it was taken as an accusation of bigotry or racism. Being told not to equate my feelings with something like MLK day was intensly hurtful to me.
So I accept what has been said and I apologize for creating a stir. Those who know me know m as open minded on all things as a person likely be. To be viewed as being the one who pidgeon holes others is anathema to me. It was certainly not my intention.
Milik, thanks for responding to my post, for the record, I didn't think that you came across as homophobic at all - you merely made a suggestion that had been playing on your mind. That is what the forums are for and we should all be able to speak freely here.
I've known you for a while now and I have the utmost respect and admiration for you; as a writer, moderator, poster and as a person. I have always found you to be both fair and balanced.
There's no need to apologise for posting this thread though, please, don't do that. It is an interesting subject which we can all talk about... Whether we can agree, lol I doubt it!
I think more people need to post...
all that propagating and shit !
